The Cleveland Browns' defense represents a serious challenge for Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers. Known for its physicality and disciplined formations, Cleveland’s defensive lineup can test even the most balanced offensive systems.
To succeed, Shanahan’s 49ers must exploit weaknesses in quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ adaptability and decision-making under pressure. However, focusing solely on Sanders would be risky; the Browns' collective strength and cohesion demand attention across the entire field.
The 49ers’ offensive line will need to counter relentless pressure while maintaining precision in their running and passing schemes. Shanahan’s adjustments and Purdy’s composure may determine whether San Francisco can turn Cleveland’s defensive aggression into opportunities.
“The Browns’ defense poses a major threat to Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, and the 49ers’ offense.”
Cleveland’s defense could disrupt the 49ers, but balanced preparation and composure from San Francisco will be key to managing both the Browns’ power and Sanders’ vulnerabilities.
